Ship sinking at pace; partners have no vision - Associate Strategy& Employee Review

Pros

Some good partners / principals, although the ones who remain are very much the 'mediocre middle'.

Cons

Partners have no vision - a lot of them are 'lifers' - meaning they've never had a job outside consulting. They don't know how to run a business effectively; how to genuinely empower the people in their organisation to do their best work. There's been a exodus - with large groups of people moving together to other consulting shops such as Bain or EY Port Jackson Partners. Graduate quality is dropping and the middle layers have been gutted. Increasingly indistinguishable from PwC in terms of branding, but legacy partners still expect MBB hours.

Pros

You can get a good amount of beach time. If you have a lot going on in your life, that may be a good thing. If you are young and need to learn, don't let that happen. Being busy and grinding (within reason) is more worth it than things being too chill. Some projects that had travel had good culture.

Cons

Layoffs all the time for wrong reasons, way too remote with no ability to get young and hungry people the experience in person they need. Always stressing about utilization.
